2. Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or
knobs.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do
not immerse the Rice Cooker housing in water
or any other liquid. If housing falls into liquid,
unplug the cord from outlet immediately. DO
NOT reach into the liquid.

vision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.

cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or tak-
ing off parts.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks of becoming entangled in or tipping over a
longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tipped over.
NOTICE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is
wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug
will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

INTRODUCTION
Cuisinart takes the guesswork out of cooking rice.
Now all you have to do is add liquid and rice, stir,
cover, and press a switch. When rice is perfectly
cooked, your Cuisinart
™
Rice Cooker automatically
reduces the temperature to keep rice warm until
you’re ready to eat. A stainless steel steaming
tray is included to let you steam your cooked
vegetables, fish, poultry, and specialties like
dim sum!
As always, cleanup is quick, because all removable
parts are dishwasher safe.
